THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Truc Restaurant Review

: One of the forerunners of the French revival in Boston, this dark green hued subterranean Bistro in the restaurant-rich South End found chef/co-owner Corinna Mozo at the helm when it first opened. Now Philip Wang wears the chef hat and Karen Densmore has sole ownership of the place. Truc is a French word that means, colloquially, thing-a-majig, and well buy it as this cozy charmer is popular with couples of all persuasions thanks to lovely food thats beautifully presented. Try the braised rabbit with little dumplings made from marrow or the tiny potatoes with baked filets of pike. Theres a large dessert menu for such a small room and a nightly cheese plate. In cool weather we love the cassoulet with its white beans and a mélange of meats. The wine list is overwhelmingly French-and a good one-with some nice bottles from the South of France. In this stylish room with a stylish crowd, despite its small size, conversations rarely jump over tables.
